Go Dance for Change – Empowering movements and culture integration, will present two dance workshops at IMMA – Dancehall and Afro-Brazilian Dance.
Dancehall Workshop: 7pm
Dancer and facilitator Vithoria Escobar will lead an Old Skool Dancehall steps workshop. In this workshop, Vithoria will teach choreography based on a sequence of steps of Old Skool Dancehall. The intent of this workshop is to introduce people to Dancehall culture and teach Dancehall social steps.
After a short break the second workshop will take place:
Afro-Brazilian Workshop: 7.50pm
Dancer and facilitator Alessandra Azevedo will lead an Afro-Brazilian dance culture workshop. In this workshop, Alessandra will lead us through movements based on Afro-Brazilian historical context as it’s developed as a form of personal and artistic expression in areas where the African diaspora settled.
Go Dance for Change is a transcultural platform that uses dance as its primary tool to engage the Irish community with other cultures, connect people, and provide inclusive, healthier and diverse spaces. They provide community participation opportunities to organisations and individuals who wish to engage effectively with and learn more about a diverse and multicultural demographic within Ireland. This is done through a variety of immersive and engaging dance-related activities such as workshops, parades, performances, and online and live events.
This workshop is free but tickets must be booked in advance. Both workshops are beginner friendly, make sure to wear comfortable clothing. The workshop takes place in the Meadow Pavilion, on the West Avenue near the Kilmainham entrance and our car park. Please arrive 10mins in advance to ensure your place and settle in.
